Boating
FOCA supports the safe and responsible operation of all watercraft and other related activities by:
- Monitoring regulatory and legislative issues as they arise
- Promoting education and communication on boating issues
- Liaison with boating-related agencies and associations
- Partnering with organizations to provide boater education
- Alerting cottagers about general boating safety and related issues
FOCA encourages all boaters to learn the basics of boat safety and how to operate a boat before you get out on the water.
